Tara Hematite Phantom Quartz Crystal Necklace - Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Filled | Aislinn Collection

A hematite phantom quartz crystal, hung with your choice of sterling silver or 14K gold filled. Each stone is one of a kind — the phantom formations inside shift from piece to piece, dark shadows caught mid-growth inside the clear quartz. About Hematite Phantom Quartz Phantom quartz forms when a crystal's growth pauses, allows minerals to settle on its surface, and then continues growing — leaving a ghost of its earlier shape suspended inside. When that mineral is hematite, the phantom takes on a deep red, rust, or smoky darkness, a record of time held inside clear quartz. Long associated with grounding and strength, hematite has been used across many cultures and centuries as a stone of steadiness and protection. Together the two create something that feels as rooted as it looks. About the Tara Design Tara is named for the Buddhist goddess of compassion and spiritual travel. The design began with Tibetan quartz, and over time I've added other beautiful quartz inclusions that felt at home in it — this hematite phantom among them.
